The Senate on Thursday will honor former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens with a resolution introduced by his fellow Alaska Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Although the Senate is on recess until Sept. 13, it will briefly reconvene to fix a technical problem in a border security bill. Senate leaders from both parties agreed to fix the problem with a unanimous consent vote. The Senate also agreed to take up the resolution honoring The Late Senator Stevens, who died in an August 9th plane crash in Alaska.
